"Ingredients: [...] Artificial Vanilla Flavoring, Dipotassium Phosphate..."

I can't think if I've ever had all-dressed, I don't think I have. I'm familiar with them conceptually but they're not found in the US very often. I've definitely seen them like, available on store shelves once in a while (I think Lays sometimes does them seasonally) but I've generally assumed they'd suffer from Everything Bagel Syndrome.

I don't know how normal people encounter the everything bagel, or even just the Everything Bagel seasoning that for example Trader Joe's sells. Given the general enthusiasm for it, I suppose it's pretty popular, but I've never seen the point. Everything bagels just taste like onions to me -- onion is of course one of the toppings but it's so dominant that it's basically "crunchy texture from the sesame/poppy plus overwhelming onion". I don't know if it's that most people aren't aware that 90% of what they're tasting is onion, or if I'm over-tasting the onion because I'm a supertaster and that's a particular sensitivity of mine.

Onion's a nice flavor, I don't dislike it and I see why people go nuts for Everything if they don't realize it's onion. But whenever I encounter all-dressed or everything flavors, I just think, well, if I want that I'll just get onion flavor and skip the mess. It's only just occurring to me that I actually don't know if all-dressed would be the same. I'll have to keep an eye peeled and try them out.

Did you know lemon peels are packed with vitamin C and entirely edible? 🙌🏻
